Echobelly are an English alternative rock band. They were brought to prominence after much praise by singer Morrissey who asked them to be the opening act on his tour. They briefly peaked during the Britpop craze of the mid-1990s.

History

The original lineup consisted of:

* Sonya Aurora Madan (vocals)
* Glenn Johansson (guitar)
* Debbie Smith (guitar)
* Alex Keyser (bass)
* Andy Henderson (drums)

After Echobelly's second album Keyser went on to join Dragstripper and was replaced by James Harris. Harris was soon swapped in for Ruth Owen, after their third album, when Debbie Smith left; Smith is now a well known DJ on London's alternative gay scene, [ cite web | title = Ask The DJ: Tamsin Bop | url = http://www.rainbownetwork.com/Nightlife/detail.asp?iData=22657&iCat=204&iChannel=18&nChannel=Nightlife | work = Entertainment : Nightlife : Ask The DJ | publisher = Gaydar Nation | date = 27 January 2005 | accessdate = 2008-04-25 | first = Charlotte | last = Cooper ] and has also played in Snowpony, a supergroup containing members of My Bloody Valentine and Stereolab.
